Junior guard Mudi Eruteya of the S&T men's basketball team was named Tuesday to the Great Lakes Valley Conference's all-league team for the recently completed 2012-13 season, becoming the second Miner to land a spot on the All-GLVC squad since S&T became a member in 2005.Eruteya is the first Miner to garner a spot on one of the GLVC's top teams, which has consisted of either two or three teams since the Miners joined the conference. The only other Miner prior to Eruteya to be honored by the GLVC at the close of a season was Carlton Westbrook, who was selected to the league's all-defensive team last year.During the season, Eruteya led the Miners in several statistical categories that included the scoring and rebounding columns. He averaged 13.6 points per game, which ranked among the top 20 in the GLVC and was fourth in the conference in rebounding with 7.5 boards per game. In addition, he finished with a team-high 87 assists, good for sixth in the league and 40 steals.Eruteya racked up seven double-doubles during the season as well, tying the second-most in the conference and hit two game-winning three-point shots during the course of the season, one in an exhibition victory over Western Illinois and the other at the buzzer to beat Westminster in late November. He reached double figures in the point column 19 times, which included S&T's final nine games of the year.Missouri S&T finished the season with a record of 7-18 and was 3-15 in the GLVC.The 2012-13 All-GLVC men's basketball team:First TeamChris Dowe, Sr., BellarmineVance Hall, Jr., BellarmineBrandon Lockhart, Sr., DruryAlex Hall, Sr., DruryDazmond Starke, Sr., Kentucky WesleyanRyan Jackson, So., LewisAsa Toney, Jr., MaryvilleChris Babbitt, Jr., QuincyKeith DeWitt, Sr., Southern IndianaJeremy Saffold, Sr., Wisconsin-ParksideDillon Deck, So., William JewellSecond TeamKyle Gupton, Sr., Illinois SpringfieldReece Cheatham, Jr., IndianapolisJames Hollowell, Sr., IndianapolisDavid Bryant, Sr., LewisArmon Provo, So., MaryvilleJohn Steppe, Sr., McKendreeMudi Eruteya, Jr., Missouri S&TDarian Cartharn, Jr., Missouri-St. LouisJoshua McCoy, Sr., Missouri-St. LouisTyler Thompson, Sr., QuincyBrandon McCann, Jr., RockhurstZygimantas Riauka, So., Wisconsin-ParksideColt Grandstaff, Jr., Wisconsin-ParksideOrlando Rutledge, Jr., Southern IndianaAll-Defensive TeamCameron Adams, So., DruryIan Carter, Jr., DruryBrandon Lockhart, Sr., DruryWest Dawson, Sr., Illinois SpringfieldDaniel Daudu, Jr., IndianapolisTyrae Robinson, Jr., IndianapolisDominique Dawson, Jr., Kentucky WesleyanJulian Lewis, So., LewisGerald Shaw, Sr., MaryvilleChris Babbitt, Jr., QuincyKeith DeWitt, Sr., Southern IndianaKenyon Smith, Sr., Southern IndianaZygimantas Riauka, So., Wisconsin-ParksidePlayer of the Year: Jeremy Saffold, Wisconsin-ParksideFreshmen of the Year: Lucas Barker, Kentucky Wesleyan & Andy Mazurczak, Wisconsin-ParksideCoach of the Year: Luke Reigel, Wisconsin-Parkside
